Vulgarity in a king flatters the majority of the nation.

I'm sick of all the reasonable people: they see all the reasons for doing nothing

Discussing vaccination with a doctor is like discussing vegetarianism with a butcher.

This is the true joy in life: Being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

Very few people can afford to be poor.
